The days that followed were largely the same.
Every day, Shin practiced swordsmanship with Urokodaki Sakonji, while Tanjiro focused on his physical training.
At mealtimes, Tanjiro would go to a designated spot to catch raw fish.
Tanjiro’s nightly ritual was running back to the cabin from Mount Sagiri.
While this activity might seem simple, Tanjiro himself recounted that Urokodaki Sakonji had laid numerous traps on the mountain.
Moreover, the locations changed daily.
As Tanjiro became increasingly adept, the nature of the traps gradually shifted from simply restraining him to aiming to kill him.
Tanjiro’s progress also changed.
Initially, he could only clean up the mess left by Shin and Urokodaki Sakonji after dinner.
Gradually, he could manage to eat a few bites of leftovers, then return halfway through dinner, and finally, he was able to return to the cabin just before dinner preparations began.
Every night, Tanjiro had a habit of talking to Nezuko and writing in his diary, while Shin lay in his sleeping spot, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Once Tanjiro could dodge all the traps, he began to formally learn the basics of swordsmanship—swinging a sword.
As Tanjiro grew, the things he needed to learn increased.
Shin, however, continued to explore swordsmanship and the Water Breathing forms taught to him by the old man.
Compared to Tanjiro, Shin had far fewer things to learn.
For example, the intense physical training that Tanjiro had to do every day was not required for Shin.
During these long days, Tanjiro’s sister Nezuko remained in a coma, and Urokodaki Sakonji could not provide a reasonable explanation for her continued unconscious state.
Six months later, Urokodaki Sakonji finally formally taught Tanjiro the key points and essence of the Water Breathing technique.
“Tanjiro, today I’m going to teach you the Water Breathing technique.
Listen carefully!” Urokodaki Sakonji said to Tanjiro very seriously.
“Yes, Master!” Tanjiro immediately became serious. Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
Shin stood quietly beside Tanjiro, saying nothing.
“Breathing techniques involve consciously breathing for a long time, allowing oxygen to reach every cell in the body.
This enhances the body’s natural healing abilities, as well as its strength and reflexes.
This type of breathing is called Total Concentration Breathing!
Water Breathing, based on Total Concentration Breathing, maintains a specific breathing frequency.
At this specific frequency, a water rhythm is generated.
That’s Water Breathing.
Other breathing techniques are similar; each has its own rhythm.
Tanjiro, now relax your upper body, stabilize your lower body, and then begin breathing,” Urokodaki Sakonji said, changing his tone.
Hearing this, Tanjiro began to try breathing according to Urokodaki Sakonji’s instructions.
Tanjiro had barely taken a breath when his expression turned to pain, and he let out a scream.
Urokodaki Sakonji had struck him in the abdomen.
“No.
Concentrate on your breathing.
You must use your dantian to draw oxygen in, not just rely on your nose.
Your nose is just a passageway for oxygen to flow in.
Try again.
Focus your energy in your dantian—circulate oxygen throughout every cell of your body via your dantian.”
“Ah~…
ah~…
ah~”
What followed was Tanjiro’s repeated screams of pain as he failed each time.
